GDL '93 - Rule Discussion

For those of you familiar with the original GDL for '94.

I figured keeping a very similar structure with this league (If it's not broke, don't fix it).

- 12 Man Rosters (2 G, 6 F, 4 D)

- 56 Game Schedule

- Top 8 from Each Conference make playoffs.

*If we only get around 16 teams, could either do Top 4 or everyone makes it.

- 5 Minute Periods

- Penalties On, No Off-Sides

- All Penalties, Reduced to ONE (1) Minute. (Including Fighting).

- Fight timer increased from 40 to 60 seconds.

- At least Two Bruisers (Fight Rating of 10+) required per team.

*Maybe have a requirement of at least 1 in Starting Lineup.

- NHL Teams Allowed (Past and Present)

Other things to consider:

- Weight bug fix (yes or no)

- Conference Names

- Division Names

- Freydey/dcicon (GM mode)

If I'm leaving anything out, please let me know. If we need to create some polls on these topics, I'm all for a democratic process.

I'm in the process of transitioning the sites over to a free hosting site (to get them off my computer). But since we are getting serious interest, I'm getting closer to dusting off the lotto tumbler.

Looks great.. I think weight-bug fix is a must, especially if we are required to have a bruiser in your starting line-up.

I also have no problem with a GM/coach, if anything, there will be more accountability to get games played.

Awesome!

I don't like the mandatory bruiser in the starting lineup idea. If I'm down a goal in the 3rd, am I not allowed to sub him out? Too difficult to enforce this rule. Also, don't have everyone make the playoffs...makes the regular season a little less interesting, imo.

I vote weight bug fixed. :)

Anyway, those are my two cents. Your hard work in getting this league going is very much appreciated Donch! Thank you for doing this!

Ya i think we should have freedom of drafting, I don't really care about fighting so I'd rather have a better player instead. Regular season needs to matter so I don't think everyone should make playoffs. Idc about weight fix or not. Great idea with 1 min penalties

With regards to forwards, what about enforcing what the player's actual position was? That way a team cannot have a top line of three centers.

I think youll find its very hard to draft three top line anything. I'm sure the first draft will be very interesting. But things hopefully will be thinned out perfectly.
